If the cop asked him to help stop the suspect then I don't see why he would get fired cause he was helping out the LEO by stopping or slowing down the car! I seen a couple other times where a trucker has helped the LEO's end a pursuit! Why do you think they have cb's in their cars? :wink:

That's silly. It's for when truckers say there is a 2 for 1 special on donuts they know where to go.

A insurance company can't put anything on a DAC report.

Cops are not going to ask you to stop a vehicle. Never take orders over the CB. Period.

Thats your reason to be fired right there, regardless of the fact 2 trucks were damaged in this video.

trucker's mind at that point

They think I did it to help those bears... Ok ...Sure. If you say so !!"

not to keep repeating myself, but the truck blocked the car
the car hit the truck
traffic was moving slow, and the truck could have simply been merging

picture if you're making a right hand turn, and halfway thru the turn, a driver tries to come up underneath and just guns it. If the car hits the truck, who's fault is it?

now, if the truck had hit the car in some sort of PIT maneuver, then the driver would totally be at fault.

and, again, the car had plenty of time and room to stop.

No they can't--directly.

An insurance company does have a significant impact on a carrier's policies and procedures--even the bottom line. Carriers hire/don't hire/fire drivers based on criteria established by the insurance industry. Therefore, what appears in a driver's DAC report can indirectly be influenced by an insurance company.

What about for companys that dont use DAC. Insurance companys dont care about DAC they care about driving records.

Don't think that DAC isn't also available to the insurance industry. The insurance industry also has a "PREFERRED LIST". If you've EVER had your license suspended or revoked for ANY reason, even failing to pay a parking ticket, YOU'RE ON THAT LIST. That also affects your insurance rates, and your ability to get hired. I found out about that when I hired on here, and was told that YOU DO NOT WANT TO BE ON THAT LIST.
